Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the long-term outcomes (minimum of 5 years) of patients who underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) using a special glenoid component designed to address posterior bone loss.
- A total of 35 shoulders were assessed for improvements in pain, range of motion, and overall patient satisfaction through various clinical metrics, revealing significant enhancements over time.
- Results showed a high success rate (92% survivorship without revision) and positive correlations between pain relief and specific radiographic scoring metrics, alongside low rates of radiographic loosening.
Background: Elderly patients and their surgeons may eschew shoulder arthroplasty due to concerns over patient safety and longevity. The purpose of this study was to review the current literature evaluating the clinical and radiographic outcomes of shoulder arthroplasty performed in patients 80 years and older.
Methods: A literature search of the Embase, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane databases was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Glenoid bone loss presents a challenging dilemma, particularly in the setting of failed arthroplasty requiring conversion to a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). The aim of our systematic review was to examine the success and failure of biologic glenoid bone grafting to address vault deficiencies in the setting of shoulder arthroplasty conversion to rTSA. Twelve articles were included and a complete PUBMED search.

However, the true incidence of this complication is unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate fracture configuration and determine the incidence of mediastinal compromise following medial clavicle fractures.
